In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, parsley, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the chicken patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole-wheat burger buns in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked chicken patty, a tomato slice, and the top half of the bun.
Serve the chicken burgers immediately and enjoy!
